WONDERFUL ARTEsIAN WELL.-A
correspondent, writing from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, says: "The artesian
we'll at Bell Plane, 80 miles west of
here, still attracts much attention.
Although exaggerated accounts of it
have been sent all over the country,
it is certainly a great wonder. The
facts, briefly stated, are these: A
we'll was sunk to the depth of nearly
200 feet with two inch auger. 1t
was the intention to insert a three
inch tube as soon as the water would
enlarge the opening sufficient. The
tube was driven down, and the water
commenced to rise outside the tube.
1t was thought that this could easily
be stopped. After a few hours the
water burst up in column three or
four feet in diameter, rising from four
to six feet In height, and pouring out
sand and gravel by the cart-load. The
water came up with such force that a
stone could not be dropped into the
opening. 1t would be hurled out with
great force. A large eighteen inch
tube was inserted, but this disap-
peared entirely. An iron cone thirty
feet long was inserted and it disap-
peared. All attempts to stop or con-
troll the water have been in vain. The
water does not flow with as much
force as at first, but the discharge is
nearly as great. For more than two
months it has poured out 5000. 900
gallons day. The city counsel has
just entered into an agreement with
the company to control the we'll or
stop it.

Condition of Business.

Statistics of the failures of the en-
tire year of 1886, compiled by the
mercantile agency OF r. G. Dun &
Co., up to noon December 81, show a
slight falling off as compared with
1885. The number of business fail
ures in.the United States is 1884 as
compared with 1857 in the year of
1885, decrease of 1913 failures. The
total liabilities of the failures of 1886
are STA 100000 as compared with
1924, 100000 in 1885, decrease of
$4,000, 900. The failures recently
seem to have been unusually numer-
Gus.
Rarely has a year opened with
greater disbursement than the year
1886. Rarely has a year closed with
more confidence. During the past
month the failures have been unusual
in the amount of liabilities, without
known disturbance or depression in
important branches of trade to cause
them. They come like 'sbolts out of
the blue sky" and seem to indicate an
unexpected expansion of credits.
When it is remembered that familiar
causes of such expansion have exist
ed, that the currency mas been largely
increased and that wild speculation
ran riot a month ago in the stock and
produce markets, these failures, with
their rising volume of Indebtedness
Justify the fears that confidence has
grown too fast. The natural infer
ence is that some firms, anxious to
recover in a few months the losses of
several years, have gone beyond their
depth. How much of unsoundness in
commercial credits has thus been pro-
duced, it is not yet possible to judge.
The dizziness usual in the closing week
of the year is reported from all quar-
tiers. But though dealers are busy in
making up accounts there is every
where feeling of great confidence.
Trade during the past half year has
been very large and generally remu-
Eerative. The prevailing tendency is
to count upon a continued enlarge
ment for the next season and it would
be wise not to forget that it is posi-
bic to build too largely on the future,
even in a time of real and healthy
improvement.

Unless all the prophets in Europe
are at fault, this year will witness a
gigantic war in Europe. The nations
are preparing for it, by Strengthening
their armies and navies without regard
to the cost of the process. Germany
and France distrust each other, but
might be kept from flying at each
others threats were there no other
factors of the problem. Russia is the
unknown and dreaded quantity. The
Car is an autocrat and can declare
war when he will, the question with
him being merely a matter of the OBJ
tanning of money with which to carry
on war.

In order to learn the exact state of
affairs in regard to the enforcement of
the prohititory liquor law in Kansas,
the Chicago Daily Neocs recently adj
dressed letter to each Of the probate
judges of the State with the following
questions GLOW does the number
of saloons in your vicinity and the
amount of beverages sold at this time
compare with the number of saloons
and the sales prior to the adoption of
prohibition measures? What is the
state of crime, particularly that class
of offences which grow directly out of
the use of alcoholic beverages, as
compared with the period preceding
prohibition in Kansas" AS to the
result of these inquiries the Neoos
says that replies have been received
from 40 of the Judges or from more
than one-half of the entire number.
The replies show that the question
asked by the people, does prohibition
prohibit? is answered overwhelmingly
in the affirmative. Only five counties,
sheridan, Ford, Clark, Republic and
Harper, pronounce the law unquali-
fiedly a failure. In Kingman it is
frankly admitted that the law is ''not
enforced" in Rush, Trego. Riley,
and Clay, although the replies are
rather in the nature of opinions, as
are almost all of those above men
toned, instead of statements of OBJ
served facts, they are rasher favorable
than otherwise. With these excep-
lions the answers show g. decrease in
the use of Intoxicating drinks in Kan
sas ranging from SO to Is per cent,
and in crimes and offences growing
from the use of such drinks a
decrease Of so to 80 per cent. These
are noteworthy facts. From the ma
ture of their positions and duties the
probate judges are doubtless the most
competent of all persons to speak on
the enforcement OF the prohibitory
law, and this showing must be in the
highest degree satisfactory to all
friends of temperance. The saloon
must 60.

There is hardly reader of the Century
that will not turn first of all to the Life
of Lincoln" so unique in its interest
have the graphically written opening
chapters proved to be. From all parts Of
the country, and even from Europe. the
Century has received innumerable evil
dences of the deep hold which this enter
prise has already taken upon the reading
world. The second part deals with Lin
coin as Soldier, Lawyer and Politician"
one might also have said las wrestler
and. together with what has already
been printed, forms a sort of epitome of
life In the Mississippi valley down to
1885. The characteristics of the future
president are clearly distinguished in the
young man-his humor, his pluck, his
simplicity. his homely resources, above
all, his devotion to principle. The style
of the history is buoyant, spirited and
and shows good sense of
and a carefulness that in
spires ones confidence. The narrative is
brought down to the close of Lincoln's
pioneer PERIOD and into the first years
of his Legislative experience, including
events which first gave him prominence
as a legislator and politician. The pic
toral material which accompanies the
text forms valuable addition, including
documents, portraits, views of the home |
of Lincoln's father, Lovejoy's printing
office at Alton, an engraving after the |
cast of Lincoln's hand made in 1860, etc. |
